NEYers of Old

Good Morning America did a story today on "single bridezillas"--women who have their weddings planned down to buying the dress despite not having FIs or sometimes even BFs.  They closed with a mention of The Knot having a board for these women called Not Engaged Yet and it's the second most trafficked board.  That may be what NEY is about now, but it made me laugh.

Re: NEYers of Old

  • That is hilarious, and oh so sad that they got the national plug after we left. That is going to bring in a goldmine of idiocy. 

    I dare say that pinterest has probably made wedding planning for the not engaged to even more mainstream. Kevin's sister has the whole shindig planned on there. She's 22 and has broken up with her BF a few times lately, but is not deterred.  

  • We're famous! We should go back there and Occupy.

  • Ahhh NEY. Those were the days.

  • I'm not too bothered by planning ideas.  I mean, I save ideas for house decor even though I have no real plans to buy a house.  Buying actual dresses and things for the wedding seems crazycakes though.

  • awww that warms my little heart. And makes me glad we are gone from that board.

  • The only thing I like pinterest for is pinning items I like for some future wedding/engagement thing that may or may not happen. I can hide them there pretty easily.

    And I wonder if it is real NEY these days. Has anyone been over at all to look?

  • Wait, you can hide pins on Pintrest? That changes things. I kept seeing cute gift ideas at xmas, but didn't want to pin because I wanted them to be secret. Crap.

    One of my college friends told me last March to save June 23, 2011 as her wedding date, even though her BF hadn't proposed yet. Thankfully, he proposed last summer.

  • "Hide" in terms of no one really following me, no one really being able to see it.

  • Now there's an Occupy movement I can get in on!
  • Glory days...well they'll pas syou by, Glory Days

  • Oh my god, I would DIE to hear NEY mentioned on live TV. It's like the popes found my secret criminal hideout.

    If you Occupy, make sure the post announcing it is properly titled. I don't read everythang you know!

    Would it be embarrassing if I said I have looked? They seem to be NEY, but not enough drama for my tastes.

  • Oh NEY. Back when we swore we'd never GTG and never thought about each other when we left here.

  • speaking of NYE, does anyone remember what happened to that one poster, I believe her name was Star? Who was married to a man but wanted to try out being a lesbian? I think everyone was good friends with her and she had her daughter right when NYE was starting out?

    She is a lesbian. 

  • She's engaged (or maybe married now?) to her girlfriend. And she's in hair school. And has lots of tattoos. Including a rather large scissors and combs on her chest.

    Maybe I should get tattoos on my chest representative of my career. Hmm.  A filing cabinet? A tableau of people sitting at a conference table, someone writing on chart paper?
